No matter what the reason is though for hurting yourself, the point that I want to make across is that it's not worth it. Yes it is hard to quit once you start. I am telling you as a concerned I suppose stranger, (but I know exactly how some of you are feeling) that there is a cure, you can get better. There is help for you, you just first need to realize that you have a problem and it is out of your control to put an end to it. Talk to a friend, parent, or a professional about what you are doing to yourself, maybe you even know why you do it, and ask them to help you. It will only get worse if you let it go and take no action into stopping. .
As of right now, I am trying to quit on my own, and if I reach for the knife again (or something else sharp) and start piercing the object through my skin, I know that I can't deal with it on my own and I need to talk to someone. I haven't brought up my problem because well, how many teens would go up and tell their parents what they are doing to themselves? You have to wear long sleeves to make sure they don't see the scares for Pete's sake. So I know it's hard to simply go and tell someone but you can at least start with a close friend or someone you can trust that won't go telling everyone about your situation. It's your life and I strongly urge you to seek help because you only live once and it would be really painful to many people who love you (friends, family, etc) to see you go through your life in misery and possibly dig yourself so low to committing suicide. .
Yeah, maybe it's an escape, but is it REALLY worth it? You have to realize that you may end YOUR pain and suffering, but what about everyone else around you? Do you have any idea how it would affect people that care about you? You may think that no one cares about you; they wouldn't even know or care that you"re dead. That's not true. I don't believe that anyone can honestly say that no one in the world cares if they are dead and how it would not affect them negatively in any way whatsoever.
